Abstract: 2437. Eltringham, W. Feb. 2. Drilling. - In a machine for drilling or boring blasting - holes in rock, coal, &c , but which may be used for drilling wood and metal, the spindle A is threaded for the whole or the greater part of its length, the threads being cut off so as to form one or two flat sides, to enable the spindle to be rotated by the wheel K, the wheels T, U, L, or M, L, and a crank-handle on the shaft O. The wheels T, U may be dispensed with or chain gearing used. For feeding the drill, the spindle passes through a box H containing a nut, which may be divided, the two parts being moved into and out of engagement with the spindle by screws, or the nut may be whole and be prevented from rotating by the insertion of a locking-pin. The drill B and the spindle are preferably connected by being fitted with collar-ended sleeves D, E surrounded by a divided coupling C. When one pin F is removed, the drill B may be withdrawn without being rotated, thus clearing-out the boring.

Granted: 1904-07-28
Abstract: 21,800. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. Oct. 9. Dyes, artificial.-Dye-stuffs which, on treatment with alkali sulphides, dye unmordanted cotton clear yellow shades, are obtained from the products of reaction of equimolecular proportions of carbon bisulphide and m-toluylene-diamine by heating them with sulphur. For example, the bisulphide and diamine are stirred together in alcohol, in the cold, for some days, or with heating in a reflux apparatus, the diluent being omitted if desired. Products more readily soluble in alcohol are obtained if smaller quantities of carbon bisulphide are used. After evaporating off the alcohol the product is heated to about 235‹ C., and the resulting decomposition products are then heated with melted sulphur to and maintained at about 220‹ C. until no increase of dye-stuff occurs. More orange-coloured shades result if the temperature is raised to 250‹ C. When cold, the mass is finely powdered and heated, while stirring, with melted sodium sulphide to about 130‹ C. until solid. Or, preferably, especially for clear yellow shades, the melt is dried and distilled in vacuo.
